Not all shader nodes that work with Cycles work also with Eevee. The Geometry "Pointiness" socket doesn't, as well as the other "geometry-aware" nodes like Ambient Occlusion or Bevel.

Here is a reference about node support: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/render/eevee/materials/nodes_support.html

If your mesh isn't animated, you can bake Pointiness using Cycles and then use it in Eevee:

  1. Unwrap your mesh,
  2. connect the end of the Color Ramp to an Emission shader and the Emission Shader to the Material Output
  3. Add an Image Texture node and leave it unconnected, but selected
  4. Bake in "Emission" mode (while using Cycles)
  5. Save the baked image
  6. Use the baked image as a Texture for the Mix factor in Eevee
